A New Year Prayer

God, thank you for a new year. May everyone in our family be willing

to begin anew with a clean slate. We know that you are always ready

to forgive us. Help us to be willing to forgive ourselves and to forgive

one another.

As we begin a new year, remind us of our truest values and our

deepest desires. Help us to live in the goodness that comes from

doing what you want us to do. Help us to put aside anxiety about the

future and the past, so that we might live in peace with you now,

one day at a time.

AMEN

to you for your generosity to me

Have a blessed and joyful

remainder of the Christmas season

and new year!
